For example: Sixx didn't play bass on the first Motley albums. Mick Mars was actually born in the 40s.

Re: Lion - Dangerous Attraction appreciation thread
The lead singers (soulless) Euro-Metal vocal style is beyond annoying, and the reason why I could not get into Lion. Funny, I've seen this mentioned several times over the years.

These guys were definitely Z-listers, but this is what 80s metal should sound like. Some mindblowing guitar solos by Aldrich on this one.

However, had Brandon been an instrumental track, that Crüe album would probably be held in higher esteem by the fans!

How do bad lyrics make a song less good? I never understood this. Yes, there are some dumb lyrics out there. I give zero shits about it. I listen to the music and don't care much for the words. Most of the time I'm not even paying attention to them. It's rock music. This genre started with "1-2...

Re: Realistically, how much longer does GN'R have? OR ANY OF THESE BANDS??
I've long given up on most of these bands. At this point some unreleased tracks from back in the day would probably be better than anything most of these bands can come up with nowadays.

Re: How does Rick Nielson rate as a guitar player.
I always considered him to be very average. I can't think of any solo that stands out, though there are a few cool riffs (The House Is Rockin').

Studio project by Mel Galley's brother Tom. They had some amazing musicians on those albums. Glenn Hughes handled the vocals on the first album. Second one had a bunch of guest singers like Ray Gillen, John Wetton. Third album was pretty much 21 Guns with a different singer. No really brilliant albu...

Supposedly he's working on one. Last record had a bunch of good songs so I'd be excited to hear new stuff. If it means autotuning the shit out of it to get a decent vocal out of him, so be it.

Re: Falling out of love with music?
I have done very little music listening over the past months. Plenty of records out there I haven't heard yet, but I feel like it's all the same. I've tried exploring other genres but that didn't last too long.

I'm going through his discography and I wasn't aware he wrote for so many pop artists. He was hardly limited to rock. He had a hand in most of the songs on the Giant debut. I really love that album so he has my respect for that. Anyway, I'll be giving this a spin: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=app...

What's up with him not playing on a lot of WASP albums? He had a long tenure in the band, but Blackie always seemed to go back to Frankie Banali for recording. Couldn't Stet cut it in the studio or what?
